So, I won't be writing for hd_holidays after all. The mods rescinded my assignment because I've bailed on too many fests. Which is totally fair and my own fault, so I'm not annoyed at all. But of course this being my own fault seems to make it worse rather than better.

My lip is so unstiff. I fail at English )

fandom, sad

Wow, why would they not have checked that sort of thing before sending out the assignments if that was their criteria? :-(

Sorry, hon. *hugs*

I was wondering that, too. :(

and to loki: I'm really sorry. You seem like you're really trying to make the best of it, though. ♥ *lots of love*

:( Definitely makes it extra disappointing. Especially because, tbh, if I just hadn't got into the lottery I wouldn't have even posted about it! But having posted to say I was doing hols, I felt I definitely had to explain that now I'm not. Which is embarrassing :(

I am definitely attempting to make the best of it. Not sure how well I'm doing, but... other opportunities! Less stress!

:DD Thanks for the comment, lovely, much appreciated.

Thanks, lovely :( And yeah, if I'd just not been put into the lottery it would've been less disappointing. But never mind.

*clings back*

Okay, that just sucks beyond all reason. And if you've never bailed on *their* fest, then really, they have a lot of chutzpah doing that. I'm so sorry, doll.

You are more than welcome to pick up a prompt over at Kinky Kristmas. We'll have you. ♥

Thanks, lovely. *shrugs* It's in their rules, so I'm not pissed off. But yeah, I do wish this had 'come to their attention' pre-assignment send-out.

LOL. This made me smile at my computer :DD Thanks!! That does make me feel better, actually, even though I'm not sure I'll be doing KK.

I know it's their rules, but it still sucks massively that they included you, then dis-invited you. I would probably throw myself out of a window if it happened to me. (Luckily I do not do H/D and would prolly never even try to get into an exchange that was by lottery because of fear of rejection ( ... )

Yeah, sadtimes. :( On the plus side, I suppose if I wanted to join hd_hols_rejects (which I do not at all) people could not really criticise too much ;)

Mmm. After the stress of last year I definitely feel I can't judge. But I won't lie, it's very nice having an experienced mod be all HMPH. :)

DUDE I KNOW. I keep hearing random gossip about exchanges and that, and the whole fact of an hd_hols_rejects comm being created says something.

D'awww. See, part of the reason I was all YAY HOLS I WILL DO IT is that for the first time since I got into fandom, autumn/winter will be a time of 'only working twenty hours a week' rather than a time of 'ALL THE ESSAYS'. So RL had better not even TRY fucking with me. I have time to beat it down!

Yeah. :( I mean, I think it was totally fair on their part, but I am still a sad panda.

D'aww. *blushes* I would genuinely love to do a Kinky Kristmas fic, so I'll have to see if anything seems inspiring once the prompts go up in September.

I'm planning my prompts already. Giant Squid smut = win, y/y?? :D

Keep smiling, darling, it'll all look better in the morning. Or on SOME morning, anyway. *hugs you*

LOL. Reminds me of a conversation I had with lavillanueva once, in which we agreed that there should be fic where the Gryffindor boys saved Draco from Squid molestation and then all had him themselves :)

You're so right - I'm sure I'll wake up tomorrow feeling much better about it all. *hugs you back*
